Francisco Alvarez, the 24-year-old catcher, participated in his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. Following two games without a hit, Alvarez recorded a 1-for-3 performance with a walk. He also contributed by catching a runner attempting to steal too far off first base.
The Mets have not set an exact return date for Alvarez, but his progress suggests he could be back with the team during their upcoming six-game homestand, provided everything continues to go as planned.
On the pitching front for Syracuse, prospect Zach Thornton threw five scoreless innings, allowing only two hits and two walks while striking out five. Tobias Myers followed with two innings, surrendering just one unearned run and striking out one. Dylan Ross secured his first save, despite issuing two walks and a double, by striking out the final batter.
